7.SAWING
It is not necessary to force the saw into the cut. Apply only light
pressure while running the engine at full throttle.
When the saw chain is caught in the cut, do not attempt to pull it
out by force, but use a wedge or a lever to open the way.
GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK
This saw is equipped with a chain brake that will stop the chain in the event
of kickback if operating properly. You must check the chain break operation
before each usage by running the saw at full the throttle for 1-2 seconds and
pushing the front hand guard forward.
The chain should stop immediately with the
engine at full speed. If the chain is slow to stop or
does not stop, replace the brake band and clutch
drum before use.
It is extremely important that the chain brake be
checked for proper operation before each use and
that the chain be sharp to maintain the kickback
safety leveled the saw. Removal of the safety
devices, inadequate maintenance, or incorrect replacement of the bar or chain
may increase the risk of serious personal injury due to kickback.
